Got the bug!
Am I obsessive?
Camera shutter worn out!
Computer suffering overload!
Did I take another 500 photos today?
Back up falling behind? :(
Can’t decide what to upload?
Bird flew away!
I missed the shot again! :(
Stick to slow moving subjects! :)
Yes that’s me!

    Great capture Gabe. Such a sharp and colourful image. Tony

  • Hi there Tony, thanks buddy! :) I was lucky to find a few violets in the garden, shame I couldn’t add the smell. It’s not Spring yet but they are having a flush.

    Fantastic capture Gabe love the lighting

  • Hi Maggie, thanks buddy! :) You can appreciate it being an artist. I tried to make this look like a painting. Sort of had to arrange the flowers and the wind was driving me nuts. I was outside as I wanted the natural light.

    Beautiful shot of these violets! The purple color is lovely. Even though I don’t know my flowers well, I know I like them against black backgrounds as you have here. The lighting is excellent as well, very nice work!

  • Thanks so much Bob! :) These violets are called Royal Robe, their fragrance isn’t as subtle as wild violets but the flower is used in perfume and powder. Very popular throughout history. Not many bugs crawl onto them that I know of but they do make a nice bunch in the house. I’m sure your lady would love a bunch? LOL!
